Sean lost all his characterization and turned from someone hard and cold to a sucky romantic. Sam, on the other hand, has enough characterization himself that it doesn’t get lost when he is paired with Alex. They aren’t the perfect match, they don’t really compliment each other but they heal each other, which I find perfect.

You’re referring to that contrived mess they tried to push in season 3 that no one bought but people in the Olex fandom? I don’t even think he has the hots for her now. He’s a freakin’ con artist at this point. A liar by trade. It’s sad the writers would rather pander to a small group than do what makes sense for the the show.

Sat, 30 Nov 2013 16:34:47 +0000http://tvline.com/?p=476747#comment-1395826The problem is the tattoo thing was shallow, lazy storytelling, not actual build up. You had that, and then the next time they shared significant screen time Alex confided something to him she was uncomfortable telling to someone she was much closer with, a scene so out of character for Alex that literally every review I read the reviewer had to try to fanwank an explanation (such as she knew Sean was listening and she was really talking to him) even though no such explanation was ever hinted at on the show, because otherwise the scene made no sense. That was the extent of their buildup. Oh we have similar tattoos, oh we have similar feelings of regret about our pasts that literally every other character on this show also has, clearly we have a connection here let me tell you something I’m too closed off to tell anyone else. That’s not build up, that’s contrivance.

Sat, 30 Nov 2013 16:24:11 +0000http://tvline.com/?p=476747#comment-1395805Well, I think they’ve already build up Nikita in too many unresolved twist interest. There is always something between her and Ryan once they see each other again.
As for Sam/Owen and Alex they did start building them with her butterfly tattoo. I was pissed at that time because, as being said already, Sean was perfect for Alex. I feel without putting them together by the end, they can still play that chemistry thing. As long as they don’t end up together. That will stay in some viewers mind of after Nikita.

Sat, 30 Nov 2013 16:01:35 +0000http://tvline.com/?p=476747#comment-1395776If the writers wanted Alex and Sam/Owen to have the kind of relationship where it’s believable (and satisfying in the final season) for Alex to be the one to bring more Owen to Sam’s personality, perhaps they should have, IDK, developed that relationship in any meaningful way, instead of only giving them 2 episodes in 3 seasons where they had significant interaction and then claiming in interviews that they have a connection because of reasons. This is hands down the most contrived and forced pairing I’ve seen in a very long time. I’m not even talking romance, as Sawa has previously stated on twitter they don’t get together. Their friendship could have been realistic and charming, given their personalities, but it was never developed. It just sprang into existence overnight despite Alex historically being slow to let people in and develop close bonds, because the writers wanted to pander to a vocal minority of fans. And now instead of getting a final arc for Owen/Sam with Nikita, the woman who was his only connection to the group for the vast majority of his time on the show, we get some slap dash crap with Alex, a relationship that has no meaning whatsoever because the writers couldn’t be bothered to actually develop it on screen when they had the time.

Sat, 30 Nov 2013 09:28:06 +0000http://tvline.com/?p=476747#comment-1395220Can I just take a moment to say thank you to Meg Masters for being so wonderful and fiercely loyal to Nikita. You always give the best recaps and coverage of my favorite show. Even though it’s incredibly underrated and not as popular as some other shows, it’s one of the best shows on TV and Megan always tries so hard to give the show and our cult fandom a voice.
